SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Joe Chuman: What Humanists Can Learn From Religion at Its Best
DESCRIPTION:Humanists often see their beliefs in opposition to religion. Religion is the foil. It is superstitious\, irrational\, given to authoritarianism\, and politically too often a purveyor of misogyny\, homophobia\, and xenophobia. It often at times serves as a justification for violence. All these things are too often true. But I contend that religion is far more than that. After all\, Ethical Culture was founded as a religious movement\, though on the far-left end of religion. \nThere is also a side to religion\, the more philosophical side\, that speaks to the sublime. It asks questions about life’s deepest meaning and points to values that lie beneath the superficial manifestations of our consumer-driven lives. \nWe live in fraught times\, filled with polarizing ideologies\, political tribes\, and “political correctness.” These dynamics suffuse our political world and are spoken in a secular idiom. Yet\, I would argue that that religions at their best provide values and a vocabulary that are much needed but seldom employed in our political and secular world. Among the values I am thinking of are forgiveness\, repentance\, atonement\, and even versions of the sacred. \nI contend that we humanists would be better off if we adopted such values that people look for in religion but not often in the secular realm. We will explore these values and how our lives would be enriched if we were to embrace them. \nDr. Joe Chuman recently retired as the Leader of the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County\, a community he served beginning in 1974. Since 2008\, he has been a part-time Leader of the New York Society for Ethical Culture. As an activist\, Dr. Chuman has worked on behalf of human rights and civil liberties and in opposition to the death penalty\, as well as on many other progressive causes. He founded the Northern New Jersey group of Amnesty International in 1974\, and currently serves as president of the Bergen County Sanctuary for Asylum Seekers\, founded by the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County. This coalition of religious and human rights organizations provides services for asylum seekers released from federal detention. \nWatch Online! – Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nNotice: Only fully-vaccinated Society members are invited to attend in-person at this time. \nPresider: Leader Richard Koral \nShared Charity: Society Diaper Drive \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate\, stimulate personal growth\, inspire reflection and action\, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings usually begin with music\, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader\, member\, or guest.  Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events\, pressing social issues\, and Ethical Culture philosophy. A collection basket is passed and money is shared between the Society and a charity selected for that day.  While contributions are always appreciated\, Sunday meetings are free and open to the public.  Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo view previous Sunday Platform addresses and interviews\, visit our Videos page and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Ethics and the Theater: The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams

Click here to RSVP on Eventbrite! \nPerformed by Adam Burby\, Pat Debrovner\, Jenny Leona\, and Luke Hofmaier. Directed by Leslie Kincaid Burby. \nSuggested Donation: Members $5\, Guests $10

SUMMARY:Great Literature Discussion: Frangipani House by Beryl Gilroy (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Mama King\, an elderly woman with an indomitable spirit is placed in a rest home in Guyana by her children who live in America.

This makes the family descend on the island to find their beloved mother. \nLiterary works will be discussed based on what can be found in the text in order to enrich each other’s interpretation of the novel/novella. All are welcome to join and any edition or translation of the book under discussion can be used. Read the work in advance and be prepared to discuss the aspects of interest to you by referring to specific related text and reading it to the group. Moderated by Ethical NYC member Gunther Tielemans. \nFor Zoom and in-person access information\, please contact Gunther. \nCOVID-19 NOTICE: Only fully-vaccinated Society members are invited to attend in-person. We hope to open up to the public again as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Nori Rost: Catching Our Breath
DESCRIPTION:As we observe the 20th anniversary of 9/11\, we continue to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic. Twenty years ago\, it was the smoke\, ash\, and chemicals released by the raging fires in the wake of the destruction of the Twin Towers that threatened the health and safety of survivors. Today it is the invisible virus that continues to threaten us all\, while police violence that cuts off their breath always threatens Brown and Black men and women. On September 10\, 2001\, no one would have imagined the devastation that occurred here\, at the Pentagon\, and in Pennsylvania; in December 2019\, no one would have imagined how a virus would take the entire world hostage. \nHow do we catch our breath? What lessons can we learn from each of these catastrophic events? As we begin this new chapter of NYSEC\, what actions can we take to ensure a more just\, equitable world — one where everyone\, regardless of race\, religion\, ethnicity\, sexual orientation\, gender identity\, can breathe easy? \nCOVID-19 Notice: Only fully-vaccinated Society members are invited to attend at this time. All others are invited to attend via Zoom. We hope to open to the public as soon as possible. \nDr. Nori Rost has traveled a circuitous path in search of truth and meaning. She was a minister with Metropolitan Community Church (a queer Christian denomination) for almost 20 years before making a UU turn 12 years ago. Until coming to join us at NYSEC\, she served the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church as their settled minister for 13 years. Nori has been accepted by the American Ethical Union to complete course requirements to be certified as an Ethical Culture Leader. \nNori calls herself an “optimistic humanist” and believes we each have within us something that calls us to our highest selves. Whether that’s the evolutionary impulse that first led us ashore\, the universal innate experience of love or something else\, she’s still following that call and is always in awe of the miracles and mysteries of life in its most common forms. She is passionate about social justice and has been involved in social rights activism since she was 17. She is an outspoken advocate for justice and equity and has received many awards and recognition for her work. \nNori holds a Master of Divinity from the Iliff School of Theology in Denver\, Colorado\, and a Doctor of Ministry from the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. In addition\, she holds a Certificate for Spiritual Direction from the Benet Hill Center in Colorado Springs\, Colorado. \nWatch Online! – Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nPresider: Steve Serling \nShared Charity: Society Diaper Drive \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Labor Day Conversation with Leader Richard Koral: "Education"
DESCRIPTION:For Labor Day\, Leader Dr. Richard Koral will lead a group discussion. Education is the theme of the month\, and NYSEC’s banner outside declares “Education builds Democracy.” As we meet on this Labor Day Weekend\, we’ll discuss and explore our connection with education – as learners\, as teachers\, and as a society benefiting from education. Is our system of education creating the informed citizens that a democracy requires? Is it generating the cadres of workers that industry demands? Is formal education the only road to a secure adulthood? Can education be creatively re-invented by each generation? Let’s share our ideas about what education means for us. \nDr. Richard Koral has been a Leader at the New York Society for Ethical Culture since 2017. Richard holds degrees from New York University and New York Law School\, and a Doctor of Ministry in interfaith pastoral counseling from the Hebrew Union College. He is the Leader Consultant to the Social Service Board and numerous committees in the Society. Active with the American Ethical Union\, Richard served on its Board as president from 2012 to 2015. He also serves as part-time Leader for the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island. \nCOVID-19 Notice: At this time\, only fully-vaccinated Society members are invited to attend in-person. We hope to open up to the public again as soon as possible. Everyone is always welcome to join us online via Zoom! \nJoin Online via Zoom! – Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nMonthly Charity: Ethical NYC Diaper Drive \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Great Literature Discussion: Old Goriot by Honoré de Balzac (Online)
DESCRIPTION:In his best-loved novel\, Balzac explores the uses and abuses of money with the particularity of a poet. A shabby Parisian boarding house in 1819 is the setting where his colorful characters collide. The sprawling\, vibrant\, and turbulent Paris of the post-Napoleonic era is itself a major character in the novel\, an emblem of the social upheaval that Balzac portrays so brilliantly. \nLiterary works will be discussed based on what can be found in the text in order to enrich each other’s interpretation of the novel/novella. All are welcome to join and any edition or translation of the book under discussion can be used. Read the work in advance and be prepared to discuss the aspects of interest to you by referring to specific related text and reading it to the group. Moderated by Ethical NYC member Gunther Tielemans. \nFor access information\, please contact Gunther.

SUMMARY:Miguel De La Torre: "Why We Come: Rethinking Our Immigration Crisis"
DESCRIPTION:The current immigration crisis on our southern borders has little to do with migrants seeking a better life. Its causes can be traced to the 1840s. Dr. De La Torre is an immigrant—once an undocumented immigrant—because of U.S. domestic and foreign beliefs and policies\, from Manifest Destiny to Gunboat Diplomacy. Because we fail to recognize the causes of our current immigration crises\, we fail to develop proper ethical and moral solutions. \nDr. Miguel De La Torre focuses his academic pursuits on social ethics within contemporary U.S. thought\, specifically on how religion affects race\, class\, and gender oppression. He is the recipient of the 2020 American Academy of Religion’s Excellence in Teaching Award and the 2021 Martin E. Marty Public Understanding of Religion Award. Dr. De La Torre is Professor of Social Ethics and Latinx Studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver. He wrote the screenplay for the award-winning documentary film\, Trials of Hope and Terror. A Fulbright scholar\, he has taught in Indonesia\, Mexico\, South Africa\, Costa Rica\, Cuba\, and Germany\, and has authored over 100 articles and published 41 books (five of which won national awards). Dr. De La Torre served as the 2012 President of the Society of Christian Ethics\, as Director of the American Academy of Religion\, and sat on the editorial board of the Academy’s Journal\, as well as having been Co-founder and Executive Director of the Society of Race\, Ethnicity\, and Religion\, and founding editor of the Society’s Journal \nWatch Online! – Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nNotice: Only fully-vaccinated Society members are invited to attend in-person at this time. \nPresider: Monica Weiss \nShared Charity: Harlem Mothers S.A.V.E. \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

DESCRIPTION:This 106th Assembly of the AEU has addressed “the whole truth about America\,” where history has been triumphant for some and traumatic for others. How do we understand and reconcile such disparity? Let us recognize underlying ethical values that animate efforts\, throughout our history\, to create “a more perfect union\,” to elicit goodness from diverse peoples\, to find and demonstrate hope. \nWe gather today virtually from across the country and around the world\, something that was inconceivable when our nation began or when Felix Adler founded Ethical Culture in 1876. Let us envision together and commit to building a nation of equity\, decency\, and compassion. \nANNE KLAEYSEN\, NYSEC Leader Emerita;\nROBERT BERSON\, Leader\, Northern Westchester Society;\nGREG BONIN\, CHRISTIAN HAYDEN\, LOUISE JETT\, and SARAH TIELEMANNS: Leaders-in-Training;\nELIZABETH COLLIER\, Chair\, AEU Leadership Committee \nFor more information and to watch\, please visit https://aeu.org/event/sources-of-hope-values-from-our-past-as-we-build-the-future/ \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate\, stimulate personal growth\, inspire reflection and action\, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings usually begin with music\, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader\, member\, or guest.  Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events\, pressing social issues\, and Ethical Culture philosophy. A collection basket is passed and money is shared between the Society and a charity selected for that day.  While contributions are always appreciated\, Sunday meetings are free and open to the public.  Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo view previous Sunday Platform addresses and interviews\, visit our Videos page and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Great Literature Discussion: At Swim-Two-Birds by Flann O’Brien (Online)
DESCRIPTION:This 1939 novel tells the story of a college student who lives with his curmudgeonly uncle in Dublin. When not in bed or reading\, he is composing a novel about a second-rate author\, Trellis\, whose characters ultimately rebel against him. Figures of Irish myth make Trellis pay for his bad writing. Hilariously funny and inventive\, this is a masterpiece of Irish literature\, included in Time magazine’s list of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005. \nLiterary works will be discussed based on what can be found in the text in order to enrich each other’s interpretation of the novel/novella. All are welcome to join and any edition or translation of the book under discussion can be used. Read the work in advance and be prepared to discuss the aspects of interest to you by referring to specific related text and reading it to the group. Moderated by Ethical NYC member Gunther Tielemans. \nFor complete access information\, including Meeting ID\, please see this week’s Ethical Weekly email or contact Gunther.\n \nYou can download Zoom at https://zoom.us/download\, although it’s not necessary to do ahead of time. Zoom is available for tablets and smartphones in both main app stores\, Apple and Google Android.
